Shell has helped to set safety benchmarks for the New Zealand oil and gas industry. Our Goal Zero philosophy has two objectives – to do no harm to people and to protect the environment.
This safety culture has been officially recognised in the New Zealand Energy Awards where the Shell joint venture, Shell Todd Oil Services (STOS), received the inaugural Excellence in Health and Safety Award.
We have a comprehensive set of business principles and rigorous standards covering health, safety, security, the environment and social performance.
Our approach to safety includes ensuring that our facilities are well designed and maintained, and that our operations are safe and reliable. In the event of a spill, we follow strict emergency response procedures.
Staff safety training is given high priority – we constantly train and exercise to make sure everything is working as it should. As a company we seek to improve all the time.
